How to play Pipe Puzzle

Start Pipe Puzzle by looking at the playing area and its controls. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Use the example below to understand a decision. Check the rule that explains your first action. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Rotate the pieces in a 4×4 grid to join the inlet and outlet.

Try a deliberate move

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.

Your goal

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Step by step

  1. Tap a tile for a quarter-turn.
  2. Match every pipe end with its neighbour.
  3. Trace the route.
  4. Finish all connections.

Controls

Click or tap pipe tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

A useful example

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.

Watch out for this

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
